This time, history will be written by the victims

Dresden Woman

When the Allied forces of WWII fire bombed the city of Dresden, Germany, there were over 25,000 civilians trapped in the city. The incendiary munitions melted the flesh off of the victims. In some cases, like this woman, the heat melted off her flesh, but wasn’t hot enough to erase her hair, which postmortem shows she died painfully slow in the fire bombing. Let this image show that war is truly hell and a nightmare, and that civilians ultimately pay the ultimate price.
